As per title really. DS doesn't see the point of revising. Left to himself he would probably do an hour before each exam (fortunate to be bright enough and have a good enough memory that this sort of works for topic tests) , but I really want to try to instill better habits so Year 11 is not such a shock. Or maybe so Year 11 is not a total disaster. It doesn't help that I've been nagging encouraging all year for him to write decent notes on what he's covered but the reality is what he's written is very patchy. In some subjects it's nearly all hole.
I am thinking I will suggest an hour a weekday revision from next term (and probably have to stand over him to make sure this doesn't entail him spending 5 minutes reading notes and the rest of the time staring into space). And 2 hours a day during Easter holidays. His exams are just after Easter. Does that sound reasonable /sensible?
I'd say he could reduce this if he had lots of homework, but he really doesn't atm and is selective about what he does. So maybe I also ought to be instilling completing homework to a higher standard! (Getting him to do any work at all has been a challenge, so this is an uphill struggle one step at a time.)
Of course I also need advice on how to persuade him that revision is actually worthwhile.
My reasoning so far has fallen on deaf ears
